'''Ventus''' refers to elemental power of wind in ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'', and wind and earth in ''[[Battle Planet]]''. Bakugan that belong to Ventus have a wide variety of shapes, including [[Skyress|birds]] and [[Plitheon|dragons]].

'''Ventus''', {{Nihongo|'''Zephyros'''|ゼフィロス|Zefirosu}} in the Japanese version, is the [[Attribute]] of wind found on [[Vestroia]] and present within [[Bakugan]].
Ventus comes from the Latin ''[[wikt:ventus|ventus]]'', which means "a wind." The Japanese name, Zephyros, comes from the Greek ''[[wikt:Ζέφυρος|Ζέφυρος]]'', "the west wind."
==RebootGeneration 2==
[[File:Bbp ventus.png|21px]] {{Nihongo|'''Ventus'''|ベンタス|Bentasu}} is one of the six elemental [[Factions]] that Bakugan can belong to. It is the Faction of Earth and Wind, although it could be better categorized as the Faction of Nature. The region on [[Vestroia (Generation 2)|Vestroia]] where Ventus Bakugan reside is known as [[Ventana]].

Among the Factions that have made a spiritual comeback from the original ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'', Ventus has received the largest amount of changes and has been completely revamped from its legacy counterpart. It effectively merged the traits of the initial [[Ventus#Legacy|Ventus]] and discontinued [[Subterra]] [[Attribute|Attributes]], and contains aspects of both earth and wind under one universal classification. Ventus is stylized as the Faction of growth, and the Bakugan belonging to it resonate the most with nature, exploiting abilities that allow them to assault their opponents with vicious quakes, gemstones, and turbulent gusts. As such, the variety of Bakugan within the faction now also contains terrestrial beings such as [[Trox(Generation 2)|tyrannosaurids]] and [[Maxotaur|minotaurs]].
====Color Scheme and Design====
Reinforcing their newfound association with nature and plant life, Ventus Bakugan in their ball form are primarily a saturated, earthy green in coloration, comparable to verdant foliage. They have secondary lime highlights, and their tertiary color is yellow, although the lime portions are peculiarly less prominent in their monster forms. Some members of the Ventus Faction, particularly [[Maxotaur]], have areas of brown incorporated into their design, and a few candidates such as [[Trox (Generation 2)|Trox]] have forest camouflage patterns, further emphasizing their affinity for flora. Like most Bakugan introduced in the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]'' reboot, a few Ventus Bakugan contain areas of white, and black details located under their armor. Black is also represented as a quaternary color on Ventus Bakugan in sphere form beginning from the ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' set of products.
In ''[[Evolutions]]'' the color scheme of all factions Factions were completely changed. Ventus Bakugan during this set of products were a lime green with dark green and dark red as secondary highlights and yellow as an accent color.
The Ventus Faction symbol has been redesigned, and is printed on the top left of all Ventus [[Character Cards]] and left of the type box on all other Ventus [[Ability Card (Generation 2)|Ability Cards]], starting from the ''[[Armored Alliance]]'' [[Card sets in Bakugan: Armored Alliance|card expansions]] on wards all Bakugan have the faction Symbol Printed on them as well, in addition to appearing as a watermark in the text box on cards. It appears as a leaf or insect like mask.
====Etymology====
Like its Legacy Generation 1 predecessor, Ventus is entirely derived from ''[[wikt:ventus|ventus]]'', which is Latin for "wind" or "a wind". This can be slightly misleading, as more often than not Ventus Bakugan possess earthen undertones and aren't always associated with wind. Its Japanese name, Bentasu, is a direct translation of the same word.
